AI Photo Editor for Twitch Banners and Panels
Stand out on Twitch without learning Photoshop or hiring a designer.
"Was using my phone selfie as my offline banner. Replaced the background with a cyberpunk city, added some color grading. Went from 'just started streaming' to 'takes this seriously' energy. Viewers actually comment on my branding now." @TwitchNewbie_TTV

Step-by-Step Guide
Gather your source photo
Use a clear photo of yourself, your gaming setup, or any image you want to transform into Twitch graphics. Webcam screenshots work fine. Higher resolution gives better results, but even phone selfies work well.
Describe your stream aesthetic
Type what you want: 'replace background with neon gaming room with RGB lighting' or 'extend this to banner dimensions with matching cyberpunk style.' Be specific about colors, mood, and aesthetic. No marking needed for backgrounds.
Review for stream quality
Check that edges around hair and clothing blend naturally with the new background. Verify the vibe matches your channel brand. Make sure it looks good at small sizes too since viewers see thumbnails first.
Refine and download
If edges need cleanup or you want to adjust the aesthetic, regenerate with more specific prompts. Download in the size you need. Consider creating matching panels, offline screens, and schedule graphics.

When Things Go Wrong
Hair edges look choppy or have halos
Why: Fine hair strands are challenging for AI to separate from backgrounds, especially with similar colors.
Tap markers on hair edges, then: blend hair edges naturally with new background, smooth transition
Photos where your hair contrasts with the original background work best. Dark hair on light backgrounds is easier.
New background doesn't match my lighting
Why: The AI generated a background with different lighting direction than your original photo.
replace background with [same aesthetic] but with lighting from the left side to match my face lighting
Mention your lighting direction in the prompt: 'with lighting from upper left' or 'with soft front lighting'
Extended image has visible seams
Why: The AI had trouble continuing the pattern or style seamlessly at the extension boundary.
Tap markers on the seam area, then: blend this area seamlessly, match lighting and texture from both sides
Extensions work best with simpler backgrounds. Busy patterns are harder to continue convincingly.
AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed
Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.
Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt
Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.
Result looks too artificial or 'AI generated'
Why: Strong effects can push the result into uncanny territory, especially with faces.
replace background with [aesthetic] but keep realistic lighting, avoid over-processing, natural look
Adding 'photorealistic' or 'natural looking' to prompts helps keep results grounded.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to mark myself before replacing the background?
No! Just describe what you want: 'replace background with neon gaming room' and the AI knows what 'background' means. Only use markers if you need to refine specific edges after your first attempt or if the AI changed something you wanted to keep.
What size should my Twitch banner be?
Twitch profile banners are 1200x480 pixels. If your photo is square or portrait, use the 'extend image to wide panoramic format' prompt to expand it. For panels, 320x160 works well. EditThisPic can help you create graphics at any size.
Can I use webcam screenshots as source images?
Yes! Webcam screenshots work fine, especially if you're replacing the background anyway. Higher resolution is better, but even standard webcam quality produces usable results. You can also ask to 'enhance lighting' or 'improve quality' in your prompt.
How do I maintain consistent branding across all my graphics?
Use the same color palette in all your prompts. If your brand colors are purple and cyan, always include 'purple and cyan color scheme' in your prompts. Create your banner, panels, and offline screen in one session to keep the vibe consistent.
Can I add my channel name to the banner?
AI text generation can be inconsistent, so for channel names and text, we recommend using EditThisPic for the background and imagery, then adding text in a simple tool like Canva or even your streaming software. This gives you more control over font and placement.
Will my banner look generic like everyone else's?
No - because you're describing YOUR aesthetic in your own words, not choosing from templates. Combine elements that match your personality: 'cozy room with plants and warm lighting' or 'dark gothic with candles' creates something unique to you.
